NOPD’s Accident Reconstruction - Fatality Unit investigators will move forward in the case, trying to reconstruct the circumstances that led to Monette's death, according to a news release from the NOPD.

Police said that Third District officers are working to enhance any and all video that has been collected in this case.

Monette went missing on the morning of March 2 after police say she left Parlay's Bar, where she met an old college friend.

After leaving the bar at about 5:15 a.m. alone, police said a surveillance video showed her turn left off Harrison Avenue onto Marconi Drive about five to 10 minutes later. That’s where she was last seen.

The search for her began shortly after she went missing. A nonprofit search group, Equusearch, began searching Bayou St. John in March.

The group suspended its search March 20.

On April 9, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries said it would use sonar equipment to search waterways, and investigators would use special equipment to search wooded areas of New Orleans East, where stolen cars have been found in the past.

The investigation captured a large amount of attention locally and even lead to Crimestoppers upping its reward for information in the case to $20,000.
